America’s Got Talent video: Gabriella Laberge covers ‘Goodbye My Lover’
For more of what she brings to the table, why not check out the video below? Gabriella is a French-Canadian singer/violinist from Montreal, and there’s a moment early on where it looks like Simon Cowell is about to buzz her. Consider that a reminder that patience is often a virtue — she opens with a violin solo before getting further into her rendition of James Blunt’s “Goodbye My Lover.” It’s not a song that we’ve honestly heard covered all that much; there’s also a part of us that will forever associate this song with Michael Scott on The Office.
With that being said, there’s no denying that Gabriella’s performance here is stunning and emotive; it makes her an easy choice to move forward to the next round. She has the ability to create completely new arrangements and offer something that we’re not altogether used to on the show; we’ve seen a few violinists on AGT over the years, but the majority of them are strictly playing the instrument as opposed to also singing.
This is not Laberge’s first foray into the singing-show world, though it may be here in the United States. She was previously a part of the French edition of The Voice, and if you want to hear more from her, go ahead and check out her cover of Coldplay’s “The Scientist” (one of our favorite songs) below.
